Fromage blanc beaten with a spatula, then finely chopped shallots, parsley, chervil and chives, oil, vinegar, wine, salt and pepper, and whipped cream folded in, per the Observatoire's recipe. French Wikipedia says fresh goat's cheese can also go in.
Claqueret and tomme daubée, according to French Wikipedia, which says claqueret comes from beating (claquer) the cheese and that the dish derives from the older Lyon sarasson.
The Observatoire lists Beaujolais AOC and Coteaux-du-Lyonnais reds.
